Congressional Republicans: if you aren’t able to find the courage to invoke the 25th Amendment or join the Dems to Impeach djt, then I have another idea.
Find a look-alike who can pretend to be djt – just like in the 1993 movie “Dave”.

#TrumpMustGo
My late husband had FrontoTemporalDementia.He was like a petulant 5yo.He couldn’t think strategically.
I think trump has FTD.It’s why his decisions are inconsistent&make no sense.It’s why his posts are probably war crimes.His brain is shrinking.He thinks like a 5yo!

FB reminded me that it was exactly 5 years ago today that I was able to get my 1st COVID vaccination ❤️. I celebrated with this James Taylor & Yo-Yo Ma duet of “Here Comes the Sun”

This week the cherry blossoms are getting all the media attention but in my neighborhood the #streettrees, some sort of #peartree, are in full bloom.

Tax season is here!Last training was today.My 2 thoughts:
1) the volunteers are so nice.Proud of the excellent service provided
2) a background check is needed to volunteer @ the library.I wonder if djt has ever volunteered?These days, his convictions DQ him from being a volunteer!
...just sayin'
Tour of The Columbian
1) #Newspaper being printed
2) The Columbian installed a #GossMetroOffset press in 1968. It’s still used by most papers
3) #RollsOfNewsprint
4) Rolls are moved on dollies that run on tracks. Each roll is 8 miles long

The #GossMetroOffset press running at full speed. I think they said it can print 45,000 papers/hour

I got to see a #StopThePresses moment!
It wasn’t due to political news. The total number of papers had been printed & they were setting up to print a weekly or paper for a neighboring city.

Goosh, I woke up this morning thinking I was really, really lucky to be among the 65% of Americans who own a home. Come to find, our Treasury Sec says most retirees actually own 5, 10, or even 12 homes. Now I feel sad - I don't even own 5 cars 🙁

To note trump's 1styr in office,I attended a #FreeAmericaRally. I was encouraged to see that unicorns support Greenland.
This was the 10th rally I've attended. Compared to my 1st,today there were more horns&waves in support.There were far fewer peeps flipping us off

I'm not sure if this counts as "good news" but the #clematis is starting to leaf out...so is the honeysuckle, a few of the hydrangeas, and the daffodils.
While I'm eager for Spring, what if we have a really hard freeze like we sometimes do in Jan and Feb. What happens to all these tender new shoots?
Facebook reminded me that Andy became a member of our family six years ago. He still has this very serious "Andy" look.

Greetings :)
I really like you reflection idea! Very unique.
I don't always make formal new year resolutions, but this year I do want to pay more attention to the weekly 52Frames themes!!
#52Frames, Week 1: #SelfPortrait!
This trip I didn’t actually swim, but I did go to the #beach and #gotmytoeswet.

The #FullWolfMoon setting just before #sunrise.
The old Chinese calendar was based on the moon. The new year is always the 2nd full moon aft the WinterSolstice. So 4724, the year of the horse, begins w the next full moon on Feb 17. So don't put away your party hats!

The next to last sunset of 2025 ... did not disappoint. It morphed from a #skyonrfire #sunset to one that glowed across the whole sky, to a #sunset lit from beneath. #fabulous
